Published between 1891 and 1895, his atlas comes from “The Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies”. This atlas has a large amount of information regarding the Civil War. The maps present in the plate include many battles of the Civil War, including the Battle of Cross Keys, and defense of certain cities, such as Knoxville. I enjoy the history of the Civil War and I found this map interesting because it brings you into the battle and defenses as if you were there, and shows very specific locations of troops and other military objects.
